I was initially in the "we probably need to cut tax spending on old people" camp until I looked up how little the state pension is in the UK. I was so very wrong. The state pension is about as low as it can possibly go to survive in the UK - around £960 a month. Labour are just conservatives in disguise as they will continue to do anything but tax the corporations for their fair share.

You will only lose the payment if you are not already on or do not put in a successful claim for pension credit. The current government estimates that up to 850,000 pensioner households may be entitled to Pension Credit from when their time under the previous government, but they do not claim it and so it is trying to move them over onto it. Some pensioners think because they’ve got savings or own their home that they would not get any Pension Credit, yet this is not the case. You should look into making a claim to see if you are eligible because the previous government would not have wanted you to be on it.
You're lucky. We lived for three months in a rolled up newspaper in a septic tank. We used to hadta get up a'six in the morning, clean da newspaper, eat a crusta stale bread, go to work down the mill, for a 14 hour day, week in week out for 6 cents a month, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt. Luxury. We used to hafta get 'out the lake, 3 am, clean the lake, eat a handful 'o hot gravel, work 20 hours a day at mill, for a penny a month, and dad would beat us about the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were lucky. Well o course we had it tough. We used to have to get up outta shoebox, in middle of night, and lick the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked at mill for 24 hours for a penny a year, When we got home, our dad would slash it in two with bread-knife. Right.. I used to get up in the morning at night at half-past-ten at night, half an hour before I went to bed, Eat a lump of freezing cold poison, work 28 hours a day at mill, and pay da mill owner to let us work there. And when I went home our dad used to murder us in cold blood, each night, and dance about on our graves, singing hallelujah. Yah, you try an tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you...
@@seanscanlon9067It is the case! I have a very small private pension ( which I paid for, incidentally) which bars me from pension credits, but a neighbour's credits pushed his income above mine, in addition to which he gets other worthwhile benefits denied to me, and also the heating allowance. A pensioner not on credits does not necessarily have an income which means he doesn't need the heating allowance.
@@jake751 ha ha ha, you complain about Labour cutting back winter fuel but want the Greens in who are going to cut everyone's fuel permanently to reach net zero?
They are all the servants of the WEF. Schwab and his crew have spent 3 decades putting his people into place, none of them have our interests at heart.
@neilkendrick4976 Blair started this, changing the immigration laws to achieve it. The conservatives then let things run and increase, whilst Starmer fought them in the background, as a barrister, succeeding in getting the illegals taxpayer funded benefits, and as a result of his fighting on the illegals side, a clause in the government's bill of the time seeking to make illegals ineligible was dropped. Now we have starmer to finish things off. So the cause and completion are labour. The conservatives were the useless lot in the middle who, whilst they didnt create it, allowed starmer to secure those benefits and figures to spiral. I'd argue conservatives were inept, but labour and in particular starmer, are downright evil and quite intentional in their targeting of the most vulnerable of society who have more than earned their place in it.

Absolutely right. Pensioners are an easy target. It's not as if they can go on strike either. I reached 66 last year & never out of work from the age of 16. Paid all my tax & NI contributions.

That clown says he's a pensioner and he can afford foreign travel Is the state pension his only means of income? Does he think pensioners who have to make a choice between freezing or starving to death are concerned about foreign travel?
My husband suffers COPD, Osteoporosis and has had 2 minor strokes, he has broken his leg ball joint recently and cant get about as he used to. We have to have the heating on most of the day in cold weather for him not to get infections and to keep warm. I am elderly myself and feel the cold like all elderly people do. A recent chest infection took a month to recover from and that is in warm weather. There are millions like us. Starmer's cruel act of stopping the winter fuel payment will have repercussions right across the country in our elderly communities. Hope he thinks again.
These cuts do not make it so poor old people are unable to get help with fuel bills. They merely make it so they have to go through the same checks and balances and people with disabilities etc. If you believe it is hard for you to get help with payments due to this act, you are admitting the conservative government has consistently failed disabled people and other minorities
Labour wishes us all dead.They must do.I guess they calculate if about 20000 people die,that will leave more to pay train drivers,and improve conditions for irregular migrants."Tough choices" as he says.
When governments need to trim budgets. To make ends meet. They always look at the big numbers... The social welfare budget pensioners, ~ 125B £s. The same for the NHS. .. So they (MPs) think because the numbers are so big there's room for movement, up or down.. But without realising the human cost of just "tweaking the numbers" slightly, has a real effect on normal people..
@@neilkendrick4976it's not racist to call an apple an apple and an orange an orange.

Put down the race card, you're not licensed or intelligent enough to actually apply it with accuracy. This is not racism, it is statistical fact.
All Labour MPs must rebel rather than abstain. They must show the elders of our nation that they're with them. We also need a list of those that voted for, against and abstained with those who voted for and those who abstained losing their seats.

Diversity did not build this country. It was built long before the 1950s when those that died in 2 world wars were rewarded by being replaced by immigrants. Immigration between the coming of the Anglo-Saxons to the end of WW2 was minimal.
If it weren’t for foreigners the war would have gone on much longer and your country would have taken many many years to rebuild because they didn’t have the people.. so maybe they didn’t build the country but it’s certainly the reason it hasn’t crumbled into bones and dust
userqo8. Absolutely - that old trope again. Immigrants had nothing to do with the making of Britain. It was once large scale immigration - diversity? - began, the country immediately started to go downhill and has continued to do so ever since.
Will these mps take a cut in their wages will the still take their pay rises for the next term in office , this Labour Party will never set foot in politics again
My mum and dad were, like millions of people in the UK, hard working (but not especially well paid). They bought their home and had some savings. But the total amount of pensions they received were pretty low. But, they would never have dreamed of claiming from the state. Many elderly people would see it as a sign of shame just applying for pension credit. My mum was house bound for the last 3 years of her life and apart from walking about 10 paces she couldn't go out. My sister applied for the carers allowance for her (my sister went everyday to get her shopping and sort out her lunch etc.) and initially the claim was turned down. After a quick discussion over the phone it decision was over turned. I THINK THEY DELIBERATELY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO CLAIM - I THINK THEY WILL SAY NO UNLESS YOU ARGUE - WHICH MANY ELDERLY PEOPLE WOULDN'T DREAM OF DOING. It is the same in the NHS - YOU HAVE TO ARGUE TO GET THE TREATMENT YOU THINK YOU NEED. AND THEY DEFINITELY IGNORE ANYBODY WHO IS OVER 70!
It shows the true colours of this ghastly government - I am a pensioner and like many pensioners I have never voted socialist as we know it means misery for all bar those at the very top. Starmer and his cronies are evil, envious and spiteful. I voted Reform 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@markstevens6568 - I think you are confusing socialists with Tory capitalists. Since when has it ever been socialists rather than the Tories who have been the ones only ever looking after those at the very top? And not that we in the UK have even had a socialist government for 50 years or so but during the last but one election campaign, an actual socialist in Jeremy Corbyn proposed tax increases only for those earning above £80,000 a year, which was around only 2% of the working population and the country handed Boris and the Tories a 180 seat majority.

Pensioners, disabled and children - labour has spoken about what they're taking from these groups but have not uttered a word about what they're cutting for illegal migrants that have never contributed!
This is not going to be received by all but as a pensioner, the only comfort is that I am not far off leaving this shit hole of a country I used to love.
No it isn't. The weapons etc that we have given Ukraine is old stock and is being replaced. It's part of the defence budget which is around 2.5 to 3pc of the national income in line with other NATO countries. By reducing foreign aid to countries that don't need it would be better.
I don't know where this fiction of the new state pension has come from. Please inform Annunziata (and Sunak) that the full pension is not £13000, but just £11502.40. Big difference when you haven't got much.
I have mild Raynauds but although mild my body hurts when cold. I am a pensioner and fortunately my older pensioner friend has knitted me some fingerless gloves for inside. The winter is absolutely horrible.
@4Kandlez of course she shouldn't, but Reynauds gives cold white fingers and toes even when it's not very cold (my late husband had it) so I merely sought to offer a way to ease it regardless of the temperature.
Just my luck, I became a pensioner earlier this year. A stroke & dementia diagnosis this year also. Why are they treat like second class citizens, it seems like your of no use anymore but we do have asylum seekers that can replace you & get hand outs.

Make that 50 years of wicked leadership, as far back as when Heath took us into the cartel now known as the EU. That was the beginning of the end of our green & pleasant land.
Very good very good... Labour! You want to cut money? Stop giving money to Ukraine and their acting trio... Start peace talks and focus your energy on the UK internal problems....
Did you see reeves walk out of parliament when she was asked a question about the false claimed by her that we are in 20 billion pound debt. She walked out mid question. The MP carried on with the question. That just happened. She lied to everyone.
If they had of justified as a last measure and that the money raised by cutting the winter fuel payments was going to be put to good use I might of excepted that decision a lot easier but when they are sending millions abroad , funding thousands of illegal immigrants , giving big pay rises to the already well paid and not giving up their heating allowances for second homes it becomes hard to take.
@@stuartd9741 Where did you read that, in The Sun? And what new housing anyway? Successive Conservative governments have failed to deliver a single new “starter home” despite promising to build 200,000 by 2020, Whitehall’s spending watchdog has found. The party’s 2015 manifesto committed to building the homes across England to be sold exclusively to first-time buyers under the age of 40, to help young people take their first step on the property ladder. The National Audit Office (NAO) said that, to date, no such homes have been built because the government has not budgeted for them or activated all of the necessary legislation.
Imagine being a pensioner and still voting 🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡 Jimmy savilles mate Hates you 🤣🤣 let me tell you all something.. politicians always lie.. Stop voting 🤡
Just because they live longer and probably fought in the war's and survived. Does this heartless guy have the right to disrespect our elderly public hell no never..
Only 300,000 pensioners surviving fought in the WW2 out of 12.8 million. So only 2% of the pensioners today are war veterans, meaning the vast majority aren't.
15.000 pensioners will die of cold this winter will starmer stand up in Parliament and apologise to those pensioners who die like he did about Grenfell tower fire deaths I doubt it
25,000 is the figure given by age UK, 250,000 in the last ten years. The colder the Winter, the more die, but thus year, seeing as they've been thrown onto the scrap heap by this Labour government, many more are likely to die. Better just pray for a mild Winter!
It will be more than 15,000. Covid is a thing now. Covid was a death sentence for pensioners just 2/3years ago, and that was with a winter fuel allowance. Covid and no heating will probably mean hypothermia and then pneumonia, effectively seeing thousands of pensioners slowly dying of suffocation. Not to mention the strain on the already crippled NHS because of the unsustainable immigrant situation. Thousands of our elders who have paid tax into this system all their lives, have more than likely done their national service, have solidly served the UK all their lives, for some immigrants to take away what has been historically promised to them through their payments towards their national insurance contributions. Yet immigrants can take this away from them without doing anything at all to benefit the country? Kier Starmer is absolutely brain dead to have not evaluated this and it's effects properly. Revolution is near, the UK will not stand for their mothers being neglected and abused in this way
Exactly they don’t care that so many of our elderly will die this year due to the cold they’ve worked hard to built this country up and have been shafted by this labour government it’s just so sad 😢
Yes, I remember my father who was in the army saying that he thought that he'd fought on the wrong side as this country did not appreciate the sacrifices these forces men & women had made. Perhaps that's why they wish to erase our history.
I dont know why people commenting think this is about who is better, Labour or Tory. They're both following the plan of the WEF, Tories started it and Labour are carrying it on.
At least, now that my pension is being used to pay train drivers and junior doctors, when I need to travel to the hospital I can go by train and there will be a doctor there to treat my hyperthermia. Every cloud eh....
Each community needs to come together and buy blankets, heaters - or help out elderly pay gas bills. That’s what we need to do if the government want to take the piss out the elderly our authorities we as communities need to come together make sure our elderly are going to be ok.
I'm q pensioner and yes I'm horrified at whats happened but after 14 years of conservertive government they've stripped everything bare.thetes no high St left anymore. There's hardly a library left.boy they've left labour with one complete mess.
I voted labour. And already regret it. Thought things would get better .But as i approach retirement. Im seriously worried how things will be for me and others in retirement.
There are rich in London who have avoided tax for decades, many of then having second empty homes on which little, or nothing is paid to the government; that money should be paid finally and, provide for the pensioners and the nhs.
A health service on its knees? When the Tories had 14 years to train enough doctors and nurses, but they failed to do so; instead refusing visas for medical staff from overseas as they might be called immigrants. Whenever you look at the state of the country now as Labour have only just taken the reins, remember: 14 years.
Thwy forget the younger people have grandparents and wiill see the unfairness of it. You dont have to sacrifice pensions for younger people getting on better
I am one of those pensioners who will not be receiving it - shame on Starmer- I never trusted him- I didn’t vote for him because I felt he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He has money to give £45 million to just one family who is already rich- how is that right- go figure.
Lets see Reeves, Starmer and Streeting Lead by example. Ask them to give up their heating allowance.

You will only lose the payment if you are not already on or do not put in a successful claim for pension credit.
The current government estimates that up to 850,000 pensioner households may be entitled to Pension Credit from when their time under the previous government, but they do not claim it and so it is trying to move them over onto it. Some pensioners think because they’ve got savings or own their home that they would not get any Pension Credit, yet this is not the case.
You should look into making a claim to see if you are eligible because the previous government would not have wanted you to be on it.
You're lucky. We lived for three months in a rolled up newspaper in a septic tank. We used to hadta get up a'six in the morning, clean da newspaper, eat a crusta stale bread, go to work down the mill, for a 14 hour day, week in week out for 6 cents a month, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt.
Luxury. We used to hafta get 'out the lake, 3 am, clean the lake, eat a handful 'o hot gravel, work 20 hours a day at mill, for a penny a month, and dad would beat us about the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were lucky.
Well o course we had it tough. We used to have to get up outta shoebox, in middle of night, and lick the road clean with our tongues. We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked at mill for 24 hours for a penny a year, When we got home, our dad would slash it in two with bread-knife.
Right.. I used to get up in the morning at night at half-past-ten at night, half an hour before I went to bed, Eat a lump of freezing cold poison, work 28 hours a day at mill, and pay da mill owner to let us work there. And when I went home our dad used to murder us in cold blood, each night, and dance about on our graves, singing hallelujah.
Yah, you try an tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you...

@@seanscanlon9067It is the case! I have a very small private pension ( which I paid for, incidentally) which bars me from pension credits, but a neighbour's credits pushed his income above mine, in addition to which he gets other worthwhile benefits denied to me, and also the heating allowance. A pensioner not on credits does not necessarily have an income which means he doesn't need the heating allowance.

They are all the servants of the WEF. Schwab and his crew have spent 3 decades putting his people into place, none of them have our interests at heart.
@neilkendrick4976 Blair started this, changing the immigration laws to achieve it. The conservatives then let things run and increase, whilst Starmer fought them in the background, as a barrister, succeeding in getting the illegals taxpayer funded benefits, and as a result of his fighting on the illegals side, a clause in the government's bill of the time seeking to make illegals ineligible was dropped. Now we have starmer to finish things off. So the cause and completion are labour. The conservatives were the useless lot in the middle who, whilst they didnt create it, allowed starmer to secure those benefits and figures to spiral. I'd argue conservatives were inept, but labour and in particular starmer, are downright evil and quite intentional in their targeting of the most vulnerable of society who have more than earned their place in it.

That clown says he's a pensioner and he can afford foreign travel
Is the state pension his only means of income?
Does he think pensioners who have to make a choice between freezing or starving to death are concerned about foreign travel?
Definitely can't afford foreign travel as a pensioner even though it can be cheaper than this country in some parts of Europe.
My husband suffers COPD, Osteoporosis and has had 2 minor strokes, he has broken his leg ball joint recently and cant get about as he used to. We have to have the heating on most of the day in cold weather for him not to get infections and to keep warm. I am elderly myself and feel the cold like all elderly people do. A recent chest infection took a month to recover from and that is in warm weather. There are millions like us. Starmer's cruel act of stopping the winter fuel payment will have repercussions right across the country in our elderly communities. Hope he thinks again.
I hope he does,Irene,but I doubt he will. ❤
These cuts do not make it so poor old people are unable to get help with fuel bills. They merely make it so they have to go through the same checks and balances and people with disabilities etc. If you believe it is hard for you to get help with payments due to this act, you are admitting the conservative government has consistently failed disabled people and other minorities
It's means tested so you can afford it you're just whinging cause its good when others get their benefits cut but not so great when it's your turn eh.
Labour wishes us all dead.They must do.I guess they calculate if about 20000 people die,that will leave more to pay train drivers,and improve conditions for irregular migrants."Tough choices" as he says.

Diversity did not build this country. It was built long before the 1950s when those that died in 2 world wars were rewarded by being replaced by immigrants. Immigration between the coming of the Anglo-Saxons to the end of WW2 was minimal.
If it weren’t for foreigners the war would have gone on much longer and your country would have taken many many years to rebuild because they didn’t have the people.. so maybe they didn’t build the country but it’s certainly the reason it hasn’t crumbled into bones and dust

My mum and dad were, like millions of people in the UK, hard working (but not especially well paid). They bought their home and had some savings. But the total amount of pensions they received were pretty low. But, they would never have dreamed of claiming from the state. Many elderly people would see it as a sign of shame just applying for pension credit. My mum was house bound for the last 3 years of her life and apart from walking about 10 paces she couldn't go out. My sister applied for the carers allowance for her (my sister went everyday to get her shopping and sort out her lunch etc.) and initially the claim was turned down. After a quick discussion over the phone it decision was over turned. I THINK THEY DELIBERATELY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO CLAIM - I THINK THEY WILL SAY NO UNLESS YOU ARGUE - WHICH MANY ELDERLY PEOPLE WOULDN'T DREAM OF DOING. It is the same in the NHS - YOU HAVE TO ARGUE TO GET THE TREATMENT YOU THINK YOU NEED. AND THEY DEFINITELY IGNORE ANYBODY WHO IS OVER 70!

All labour MPs should waive their rights to the state pension. Simples.
Just because they live longer and probably fought in the war's and survived. Does this heartless guy have the right to disrespect our elderly public hell no never..
Only 300,000 pensioners surviving fought in the WW2 out of 12.8 million. So only 2% of the pensioners today are war veterans, meaning the vast majority aren't.
15.000 pensioners will die of cold this winter will starmer stand up in Parliament and apologise to those pensioners who die like he did about Grenfell tower fire deaths I doubt it
25,000 is the figure given by age UK, 250,000 in the last ten years. The colder the Winter, the more die, but thus year, seeing as they've been thrown onto the scrap heap by this Labour government, many more are likely to die. Better just pray for a mild Winter!
It will be more than 15,000.
Covid is a thing now. Covid was a death sentence for pensioners just 2/3years ago, and that was with a winter fuel allowance.
Covid and no heating will probably mean hypothermia and then pneumonia, effectively seeing thousands of pensioners slowly dying of suffocation. Not to mention the strain on the already crippled NHS because of the unsustainable immigrant situation. Thousands of our elders who have paid tax into this system all their lives, have more than likely done their national service, have solidly served the UK all their lives, for some immigrants to take away what has been historically promised to them through their payments towards their national insurance contributions.
Yet immigrants can take this away from them without doing anything at all to benefit the country?
Kier Starmer is absolutely brain dead to have not evaluated this and it's effects properly. Revolution is near, the UK will not stand for their mothers being neglected and abused in this way

I thought it was take a jab to save the elderly..Now its dont give them winter payments to get rid of granny.....& granddad
And the reason why 70 year-old pensioners are work is to pay extraordinary high bills can’t afford to drop
There are rich in London who have avoided tax for decades, many of then having second empty homes on which little, or nothing is paid to the government; that money should be paid finally and, provide for the pensioners and the nhs.
